World Seniors Darts Championships 2024: Schedule, results, start time, TV channel, FREE stream as Phil Taylor returns

He explained: “It’s hard work now at my age. My grandson Matthew doesn’t want me to retire. He wants me to carry on forever.

However, Taylor revealed that he wants to keep competing for another 12 months as he looks to embark on an Elton John-style Farewell Tour.

And the darts sensation will be hoping to secure the World Seniors Championship as his 46-year career comes to a close.

But Taylor has a hatful of talent to get past, including Robert Thornton who currently holds the crown after beating Richie Howson in a thrilling 2023 final.
